DISTILLERY NOTES
Introducing Shelter Point’s first ever peat influenced whisky. This single grain smoky delight has been aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks for 5 years and finished in casks previously used by a famous Islay distillery for 8 months.
BC SPIRITS NOTES
I don’t partake in smoky whiskies much but this one is something special. The Shelter Point Smoke Point is a delicious single malt combining their classic single malt with an Islay whisky finish. Amazing how much flavor comes from finishing, beautiful campfire smoke and flinty stone; reminds me of being on the river and having a late night fire.
Alcohol - 55% / 110 proof
Color - Deep gold to light wheat on the edges
Nose - Light vanilla and gentle barley notes with a hint of the smoke to come
Taste - The Islay smoke hits you straight away, bold and mouth feeling but the Shelter Point whisky holds up and comes through and balances the smoke.
Finish - Complex smoke tones but as that subsides, classic Shelter Point
Best Enjoyed - Neat
